This is a one-year post-graduate programme to become a secondary school teacher of RE, leading to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and 60 master's credits. During the programme you will train in schools in the Bristol area and many of our trainees go on to find jobs in the South-West. Local schools really value the quality of training that the University of Bristol Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) programme offers.
We are offering this incentive to encourage applications to the PGCE in RE for 22-23. As Programme Director Ruth Bailey explains: “Being a teacher is a hugely rewarding and dynamic career; good teachers can transform the lives of young people. We are delighted to be offering this incentive in a subject where there is a need for more teachers.”
The University of Bristol accepts applications from candidates with a diverse range of educational backgrounds. We will consider applications from individuals with a 2:2 or higher honours degree in:
- Theology
- Philosophy
- Religious Education
- Other degree but with an A level in RE
Candidates must have an interest in teaching RE and working with young people, and have suitable qualifications and qualities to be a teacher.
